I typed in Customs Button VR on google and some similar ones popped up.

Her Majesty's Customs - Queen Victorias Crown - Brass

Cool find, congrats!

I would think the last part of Victoria's reign... so maybe something like 1870 to the turn of the century. A makers mark would likely tell the story.
